From what I've read the plum colored bloom was always supposed to be there and is considered a Croad Langshan traitf, but now it has been lost for the most part in the US. If you can get conformation and the plum egg than why wouldn't you want to bring that back? I agree though, going for the egg color alone wouldn't be beneficial.I am still trying to figure out where the "purplish" egg color thing comes from. I do not see it mentioned in the oldest texts I can find about Langshans, can someone point me in right direction? Is it something that they decided to look at later? I don't think it's something that we should necessarily breed for, the whole "egg color" fads and breeding for that trait has caused some big problems in a lot of breeds and would hate to see Langshans follow that path
Mikala, I do think there is a little plum to those eggs.
